Is this a nice way to to say they are delaying?
I have experieced this "non commercial" introduction of services many times.
I the start ups where I was working that meant that we where not really
ready to launch (insufficient coverage, serious problems in the billing
system...) I bet they will offer foma to "friendly users" and that there
will be no way to get a foma phone before October...
